Listen Later

Welcome to the first episode of "Where's the Mic"! In this episode we explore our first catchphrase and ask what it means to be "playing with fire".

We also explain the foundations of the podcast, including the title, core structure and how it came to be. Each episode asks three questions which guide our conversations; "where's your mind at", "where are we going with this", and "where does this leave us" - giving us plenty to talk about!

This episode covers everything from; starting a podcast, risk taking, wolf of wall street, reality tv, cancel culture, Cambridge Analytica, Trump, Disney stars and more. We've linked below any references or mentioned articles.
